Is Conor McGregor the greatest finisher of all time?

[West Linn]

21 wins. 18 knockouts. 1 submission. Name another high level fighter with as high a finish rate as that.

 

[EXOICHO]

Johnny sins

 

[youllneverwalkalone]

Pre-Stipe Ngannou

Also, Ronda (100% finishes)

 

[irishzombie]

Certainly has to be up there . Fighting mostly at 145 and stopping guys ain’t easy

 

[cws80us]

Well Anderson Silva was pretty good for a stretch...

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Rickson has a 100% finish record.

 

[Cam Zink]

Johnny sins

Same person.

 

[West Linn]

Watching Conor McGregor fight is like watching artwork in a cage.

 

[Just Creed]

His debut was fun. He was throwing from all angles.
The next day, sherdog was never the same.

 

[West Linn]

Abdul Razak Alhassan

Never heard of him.

 

[Canada]

He made Alvarez look like a total rookie. That fight counts as two finishes.

 

[youllneverwalkalone]

Abdul Razak Alhassan

Good call!

Never heard of him.

You will.

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

Rickson has a 100% finish record.

Rocco Sifredi as well

 

[Portland8242]

Excluding fighting ability and just considering pure ability to finish a fight, I gotta go with Rumble.

 

[Taric]

Shane Carwin has a 100% finish rate, all in the first round.

 

[BForrester]

Johnny sins

Spoken like someone that just got their first pube and discovered porn. Johnny Sins couldn't match one of Peter North's ghost loads.

 

[Gamer2k4]

There's a reason Carlos Condit is nicknamed the Natural Born Killer. 28 finishes in 30 wins - 15 KOs and 13 submissions.

EDIT: Matt Brown is also 19/21 with 13 KOs and 6 submissions. Joe Lauzon is 25/27 with 7 KOs and 18 submissions. It's not hard to find people like this if you actually pay attention to MMA.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Abdul Razak Alhassan has 100% finish rate. All wins are by 1st Round KO.
